Where have you looked?
I’d start with the 1911 census.
Then the marriage certificate should at least name his father... FreeBMD confirms the birth of Stanley Phillip Maynard in Ongar in 1905, so the birth certificate should provide the parents’ names.
Once you have the mother’s forename, her marriage certificate should provide her surname.

Hi
tried that he is not showing up in the 1911 census, his birth does not give MMN he next shows up in the 1939 married

MAYNARD, STANLEY PHILLIP, Mother's maiden name WOOD
GRO Reference: 1905 D Quarter in ONGAR Volume 04A Page 511

I am pressed or time for a while so can't look for a marriage between Maynard/Wood

May I ask which site you found this information on please, I can find the birth but no mention of MMN

The GRO index site has the mother's maiden names. If the maiden name isn't given it usually meands it is an illegitimate birth.
I use FreeBMD to look for births and deaths first because it allows a search with wild cards and wider date settings then I use the GRO index to search for the likely entries I have found on FreeBMD. The GRO index only allows a date +/- 3 years either side and the gender must be entered. It isn't necessary to enter the registration district or the volume and page numbers. Some leeway is allowed with names by using the exact matches/phonetically similar variations/similar sounding variations box to the right of the name boxes but it is easier to look it up on FreeBMD first to get the exact spelling used if it is an unusual name.
You have to sign up to the site but it is free of charge to use.

He's on the 1929 electoral roll at 97 Eastern Road, Parish of Romford - Central Ward. On the 1930 electoral roll he's with Evelyn Nellie Maynard at 35 Vine Street, Parish of Romford, North Ward. This doesn't help move forward your search for parents but did notice further along the road a William Edward and Lillian Annie Rose Maynard, 11 Vine Street - coincidence perhaps?

The GRO registration of Stanley Phillip Maynard, Ongar, Dec Qtr 1905, vol 4a page 511 gives mother's maiden name Wood
